  • Poilievre’s Plan for Canada

    Here is a part of the speech delivered by Pierre Poilievre, leader of Canada’s Conservative Party, on April 2.

     I will protect our border and our security. I will protect our resources. I will protect our farmers, including our supply-managed farmers. I will also protect our fresh water and our automotive workers. Also off the table: our sovereignty, our laws, and our currency will remain in our control. Our land, water, skies, culture, and official languages will remain in our control. Our resources and Indigenous rights will remain in our control for all time. These are non-negotiable. We will protect Canada’s sovereignty in negotiations.

  • Reconnecting with our history

    The country’s history is an important part of its culture.
    I have always thought it is important for Canadians to learn as much as they can about their
    past.
    History does not rhyme, but it echoes through the years. This is more worrying. Several studies have come out in the last few years highlighting the lack of historical knowledge by many Canadians. That’s why it’s more important than ever to make history education a compulsory part of many curricula.
